◆ Update()

void chrono::ChEmitterAsset::Update ( ChPhysicsItem updater,
const ChCoordsys<> &  coords 
)
overridevirtual

Updates the embedded emitter.

If a dt is passed, it creates the particles. No need to call this by the user, it is called automatically by the asset owner (ie. the body).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChAsset.
